LRRWMO Meeting Minutes August 28, 1991 Page 5 Watershed is having Round Lake monitored. The Recording Secretary was directed to contact SWCD to obtain that information. Schrantz recommended the LRRWMO continue with the SWCD monitoring program. He further noted Ms. Rudolph is suggest- ing this board write a grant to support water quality testing from MPCA, BWSR Roll -Over or Special Project Fund, Bremer Foundation or DNR. Schrantz reported he spoke with the Coon Creek Watershed Administrator Tim Kelly who indicated the program through the MPCA might not be worth the effort. Motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Erickson, to EMPLOY THE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO PROVIDE OUR TESTING OF RODGERS LAKE AND ALSO FOR ROUND LAKE IF IT IS NOT ALREADY BEING MONITORED FOR THE COON CREEK WATERSHED. THIS ACTIVITY IS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THE COSTS FOR SAID MONI- TORING SHALL BE AS INDICATED IN MS. RUDOLPH'S JULY 15, 1991, MEMORANDUM OF $35.00 FOR SEECHI DISC MONITORING PER LAKE. 4 ayes - 0 nayes. Motion carried. Erickson queried what kind of LRRWMO related data base Barr Engineering has and suggested perhaps we should have copies of everything at our disposal, perhaps having an LRRWMO section set up at the Anoka County Library. Schrantz indicated that will be part of the new rules; to have a central information gathering place. Joint Powers Insurance Members discussed an insurance coverage proposal received from North Star Risk Services, Inc. Schrantz telephoned Andover Mayor Ken Orttel and queried the difference between general liability and errors and omissions insurance. Following his conversation with Mayor Orttel, Schrantz reported this board needs the general liability; it is mandatory. The errors and omissions insurance is needed if members do something wrong outside the line of duty. Schrantz stated this board does not need errors and omissions insurance unless we want to cover ourselves from being sued individually. Members discussed whether or not the consulting engineer would be covered by the LRRWMO insurance or that of his agency. Schrantz felt he would be covered by his own company. However, Schultz reported he heard Skallman state, at the member cities' staff meeting at Hardees in June, he wants the LRRWMO to cover him in the area of errors and omissions.
